Thistheory is borne out by the movementof the needle shown extending throughthe throat sheet, Fig. 1, as, when the firewas first started, and before circulationwas fully established, the needle movedout 3/32 inch, and later, when circulationwas established and the steam pressurebegan to rise, the needle moved backwardabout 1/16 inch. Tlie first movement of. FIG. ;. the needle, we think, throws some lighton the cause of side sheets puffing alongthe fire line, as they sometimes do. Fig. 6 shows, to the left, an installa-tion of flexible staybolts, which, whenadjusted, as shown by the tables and notes. in our opinion, will relieve the stressesthat are the cause of the failures in-dicated in Figs. 2 and 3; and, to theriglit, tlie same installation and methodof adjustment of flexible staybolts in thefirst and second rows on the side at eachend to relieve the stresses that we believeare responsible for the failures shown inFigs. 4 and S. Our experience on the New York Cen-tral and Michigan Central has been of themost satisfactory nature in preventingcracked sheets and leaky side-sheetseams, and we are of the opinion that aninstallation of flexible staybolts, set loose,as shown in Fig. No. 6, witli tliis differ-ence, we believe a full installation in thethroat sheet, set loose as follows, is ad-visable : First row above mud rings. .TiglitSecond
